Thank you for this informative video. Humintell plans to write a blog on this exact topic- how there is a great misconception that eye contact is associated with lying. When we post the blog, I will post here.
Unfortunately I've not gotten to watch the show yet. Usually when I get back to my hotel room after class, I'm working another 4 - 5 hours. I understand it's quite good. I'll have to catch some reruns this summer. Dr. Paul Ekman is the consultant for the show and he's very good and doe great research.
It's been concluded thru 40+ published studies that eye movement nor eye contact is associated in any form with deception. It is no more accurate that 50 - 50 or a flip of the coin. Half the time it works and the other half it doesn't. Would you want your career, job or even freedom rest on such a low percentage of accuracy? Just as many people INCREASE eye contact when lying. Breaks in eye contact can be the result cultural, personality, gender, topic discussed and many other issues.
You brought up some excellent points. Unfortunately, you failed to convince me due to the lack of work cited. Just listing distinguished doctors does not mean it is credible data. I think you are an excellent speaker.
Each of the sources I cite had conducted multiple empirical studies that have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Those published studies conclude that eye contact is an unreliable tool for spotting deception.
